Exciting opportunity for a B2B cPPA Expert to join the Forecasting & Structuring team within a global Energy company. Milton Keynes or London / Hybrid / Remote.

This is an exciting time to join this world leading Energy company as it evolves from a traditional Oil & Gas enterprise into a future focused Energy leader. The transformation includes the establishment of a highly successful new Power Trading desk within the Energy Trading team and ventures into cutting edge solutions that address the evolving demands of the Energy sector.

Working within the Forecasting & Structuring team, the cPPA Expert will enhance our risk and product functional cPPA expertise to support customer growth in the B2B market. The role involves structuring cPPA energy contracts across both fixed and flexible energy products to support our business's growth ambition in the B2B space, measured against the metrics set out in our 10 year strategic plan.

You will be responsible for managing risk exposure in the cPPA products, work under pressure, get a cross functional team organised and liaise with internal and external business partners.

Success in the 6 months will look like:

• Align stakeholders on risk appetite and modelling approaches to manage cPPA product risk exposure.
• Design contractual structures and positions, supporting bespoke deal negotiations and approvals.
• Establish governance, controls and ways of working to mitigate risk across the cPPA lifecycle.
• Partner with IT and local technical colleagues to develop scalable, automated systems that improve customer experience and optimise commercial returns.
• Identify and progress product development opportunities based on customer needs, risk and commercial performance.
